8 PUZZLE UWR AGAIN????

Ok, I guess I have to explain something. In the speedsliding community, no one generally cares about the 8-puzzle single, because getting a 1-mover is about as likely as getting a last-layer skip on 3x3x3 cube. It’s a rare but somewhat regular occurrence that dozens of people experience all the time if they play the game long enough, and this translates to the real puzzle in pretty much the same way. So to get a "UWR" on the real puzzle, you just have to place your hands on the timer quickly, which pretty much makes it a meme category, especially when it comes to PBs at home.

In simulators, you're just getting a 0.000 tie among about ~37 other people and that's it. On real puzzle, well, very few people do it seriously, and those who do, don't care much about such singles for same reasons.
